Firstly we recommend you test all products used during the cleaning process on a concealed patch of leather to make sure they are compatible and ensure that they give the desired finish.
Use a soft bristled brush or damp sponge to gently remove dirt build up. Pay particular attention to the zip.
Rinse a cloth in clean, lukewarm water and gently wring it out. Leave a fair amount of moisture within it.
We then recommend the use of a self-foaming footwear cleaner. Apply foam to the leather surface areas of the chap sparingly and carefully wipe away any remaining dirt using a soft circular motion - this will prevent streaking marks.
Using a clean cloth, wipe away excess foam.
Leave leather to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
You may wish to apply a specialist leather wax or cream formula which will help preserve the leather properties.
As a finishing product we recommend the application of a protective spray which will help guard the leather against water, stains and most importantly urine, which can degrade leather over time.
Top Tip: One of the key functional elements of your chap is the zipper. This should always be maintained by opening the zipper and wiping off grease and dust after each use. This will ensure a smooth sliding action and prevent debris from causing the zip to become stuck or split.
